I am on the Kale Bandwagon. I love kale chips, kale salad, kale smoothies, just about anything kale! It's a hardy vegetable that packs a lot of nutrients. But I'm also on a pizza bandwagon for obvious reasons. How do I combine the two? Like for most of my food related research, I turn to Kenji. If you don't know him, (which is likely impossible), you will find him at SeriousEats. Last November, Kenji unraveled the science behind this crispy, nutty-flavored, Kale Pizza.

With kale, if we leave it under the broiler for too long it's going to burn. Tossing it on after the first minute is brilliant (thank you, Kenji). We've used this technique before with a specific cheese. Be sure to have all your ingredients assembled and prep work done pre-bake (this includes a good 1-hour pre-heat of the Baking Steel). You really need to work swiftly with this pizza. This kale pizza recipe is simple, "healthy", and will quickly become a favorite!
